Test Bank for Contemporary Maternal Newborn Nursing 8e Patricia Ladewig Marcia London Michele (All Chapters) Chapter 01 Question 1 Type: MCSA During a prenatal visit, a patient expresses interest in accessing community -based care and services. Which response allows the registered nurse to best describe services that are offered by way of community -based care? 1. "Most healthcare services provided to childbearing women and their families take place in a hospital setting." 2. "Community -based care can provi de a patient with certain primary care services." 3. "Nurse s are the sole providers of services related to home care." 4. "Due to lack of support from third -party payers, community -based care has decreased." Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : The majority of h ealth care provided to childbearing women and their familie s takes place outside of hospital in clinics, offices, community -based organizations, and private homes. Rationale 2 : Primary care includes health promotion and illness prevention, and it features services that are best provided in community -based settings . Rationale 3 : While nurses are the major providers of home care services, healthcare providers in various other fields, such as physical therapy, also offer home care services. Rationale 4 : As thi rd-party payers begin to recognize the importance of primar y care in containing costs and maintaining health, community -based care has increased. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementatio n Learning Outcome: LO01 - Describe the use of community -based nursing care in meeting the needs of childbearing families. Question 2 Type: MCSA The labor and delivery nurse and a nurse new to th e labor and delivery unit are admitting a laboring patient. The patient is making groaning guttural sounds during contractions and answering questions with one -word answers. The labor and delivery nurse simultaneously is quickly setting up the instruments and sterile field for this delivery while asking the admiss ion questions between contractions. The experienced labor and delivery nurse has not yet completed a pelvic exam. The nurse new to labor and delivery understands that this is an example of: 1. An e xpert nurse assessing advanced labor and imminent delivery in the patient. 2. The correct order of steps when admitting a laboring patient. 3. Inconsistencies in an individual nurse’s approach to patient care. 4. Advanced nurse practice. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1 : An expert nurse utilizes multiple aspects of a patient’s behavior (including the length of each response to a question and sounds the patient produces during contractions) in addition to the more objective findings of the pelvic exam (includin g dilation of the cervix) in the assessment of a laboring p atient. The expert nurse has identified that the grunting and guttural sounds during contractions are involuntary pushing and that the patient is very close to delivery. Rationale 2 : Although most nurses have a routine when admitting a patient, the order o f the steps will vary according to the situation at hand. Rationale 3 : Changing the order of the steps of admission is not being inconsistent; changing the order of the steps of admission is respon sive to the needs of the patient at that point in time. Rationale 4 : Advanced nurse practice describes educational and certification achievement and is not used to describe the continuum from novice to expert. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzi ng Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Nee d Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO02 - Distinguish among the education, qualifications, and scopes of practice in nurses caring for childbearing f amilies. Question 3 Type: MCSA Currently, one -third of chi ldren under 20 years old come from families of minority populations. The new nurse is observing her preceptor assess the patient’s communication pattern, religious beliefs, level of education, and support system. The new nurse understands that the best rea son for her preceptor to assess these areas is to increase the: 1. Patient’s cooperation with the plan of care. 2. Hospital’s compliance with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Org anizations JCAHO standards. 3. Nurse’s knowledge of cultur al beliefs. 4. Patient’s satisfaction with her care. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1 : Gaining cooperation with the plan of care increases the outcome desired at discharge. When a patient’s value sys tem is not included in the plan of care, it will decrease c ompliance with the treatment plan and possibly increase the length of stay and decrease the desired outcome at discharge. Rationale 2 : Although compliance with JCAHO standards is very important, it is more important to gain patient cooperation with the pla n of care. Rationale 3 : The nurse’s knowledge of cultural beliefs increases the ability to care for the patient, but without patient cooperation with the plan of care, the nurse’s knowledge is lost . Rationale 4 : Patient satisfaction with care is important, but the prime reason for the satisfaction is the nurse’s taking time to gain patient cooperation with the plan of care. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Health Promotio n and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Conc epts: Nursing Process: Planning Learning Outcome: LO02 - Distinguish among the education, qualifications, and scopes of practice in nurses caring for childbearing families. Question 4 Type: MCSA The patient at 30 weeks’ gestation expresses a desire for th e registered nurse to independently manage her perinatal care and the birth of her baby. When the nurse explains she is not credentialed to independently manage the patient's perinatal care and del ivery, the nurse is recognizing principles related to: 1. Standards of care. 2. Scope of practice. 3. Right to privacy. 4. Informed consent. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : Standards of care pertain to established minimum criteria for competent, proficient actions related to delivery of nursing care. Rationale 2 : Scope of practice is defined as the limits of nursing practice set forth in state statutes. Rationale 3 : Right to privacy involves the legal right of a person to keep her or his person and property free from public scrutiny. Rationale 4 : Informed consent is a legal concept that protects a patient’s right to autonomy and self -determination in terms of his or her care. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation Learning Outcome: LO02 - Distinguish among the education, qualifications, and scopes of practice in nurses caring for childbearing families Question 5 Type: MCMA The ce rtified nurse –midwife (CNM) role includes which of the foll owing? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. Is prepared to manage independently the care of women at low risk for complications during pregnancy and birth 2. Gives primary care for high -risk p atients who are in hospital settings 3. Gives primary care for healthy newborns 4. Obtains a physician consultation for any technical procedures at delivery 5. Is educated in two disciplines of nursing Correct Answer: 1,3,5 Rationale 1 : A CNM is prepared t o manage independently the care of women at low risk for co mplications during pregnancy and birth. Rationale 2 : CNMs cannot give primary care for high -risk patients who are in hospital settings. The physician provides the primary care for high -risk patient s who are in hospital settings. Rationale 3 : A CNM is prepa red to manage independently the care of healthy newborns. Rationale 4 : The CNM does not need to obtain a physician consultation for any technical procedures at delivery. Rationale 5 : The CNM is ed ucated in the disciplines of nursing and midwifery. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO03 - Identi fy the nursing roles available to the maternal –newborn nurs e. Question 6 Type: MCMA The new graduate is learning about advanced practice nursing. Which of the following situations best illustrates an advanced practice nursing role? Standard Text: Select all that apply. 1. An experienced registered nurse who is t he manager of a large obstetrical unit 2. A registered nurse who is the circulating nurse at surgical (cesarean) deliveries 3. A clinical nurse specialist who is working as a staff nurse on a mothe r–baby unit 4. A nurse practitioner who is consulting with a physician in the newborn nursery 5. A nurse –midwife attending vaginal deliveries of uncomplicated pregnancies Correct Answer: 4,5 Rationale 1 : Management roles are often held by professional nurs es. Rationale 2 : Unit -specific skills such as circulating d uring cesarean births do not require additional formal education. Rationale 3 : An advanced practice nurse working as a staff nurse is not working in the role of advanced practice. Rationale 4 : Adva nced practice nurses have received additional specialized e ducation beyond registered nursing and tend to have a clinical focus. Nurse practitioners make clinical judgment and begin treatment and consult a physician as needed. Rationale 5 : It is within the scope of practice for certified nurse –midwives to attend d eliveries of essentially normal patients with essentially normal pregnancies. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nurs ing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learni ng Outcome: LO03 - Identify the nursing roles available to the maternal –newborn nurse. Question 7 Type: MCSA The major focus of the nurse practitioner is on: 1. Leadership. 2. Physical and psychos ocial clinical assessment. 3. Independent care of the high -risk, pregnant patient. 4. Tertiary prevention. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : Leadership might be a quality of the NP, but it is not the major focus. Rationale 2 : Physical and psychosocial clinica l assessment is the major focus of the nurse practitioner ( NP), who provides care in many different clinical settings. Rationale 3 : NPs cannot provide independent care of the high -risk pregnant patient but must work under a physician’s supervision. Rationa le 4: The NP cannot do tertiary prevention as a major focus . Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Management of Care Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learni ng Outcome: LO03 - Identify the nursing roles available to the maternal –newborn nurse. Question 8 Type: MCSA The nurse is reviewing charts for quality improvement. A patient experienced a complication during labor. The nurse is uncertain if the labor nurs e took the appropriate action during the situation. What is the best method for the quality improvement nurse to determine what the appropriate action by the nurse should have been? 1. Call the nurse manager of the labor and delivery unit and ask what the nurse should have done. 2. Ask the departmental chair of th e obstetrical physicians what the best nursing action should have been. 3. Examine other charts to find cases of the same complication, and determine how it was handled in those situations. 4. Look in the policy and procedure book, and examine the practice guidelines published by a professional nursing organization. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1 : The nurse should find the standards herself and not rely on another person, such as the labor and delive ry nurse manager, to determine appropriateness of care. Rationale 2 : Physician care and nursing care are very different; physicians might not be up to date on nursing standards of care or nursing policies and procedures. Rationale 3 : What nursing action wa s undertaken in a different situation might not be based on the policies and procedures or other standards of care. The quality improvement nurse will obtain the most accurate information by examining the policies, procedures, and standards of care. Ration ale 4 : Agency policies, procedures, and protocols contain g uidelines for nursing action in specific situations. Professional organizations such as the Association of Women’s Health, Obstetrical, and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) also publish standards of practi ce that should guide nursing care. Global Rationale: Cogn itive Level: Evaluating Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation Learning Outcome: LO04 - Identify legal and ethical p rinciples in the practice of maternal –newborn nursing. Question 9 Type: MCSA According to the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade, abortion is legal if induced: 1. At a federally funded clinic. 2. Before the period of viability. 3. To provide tissue for therapeutic research. 4. At a military hospital overseas. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : At a federally funded clinic, abortions can be provided legally if under United States laws. Rationale 2 : Abortion can be performed legally until the period of viability; after viability, the rights of the fetus take precedence. Rationale 3 : Abortion cannot be used to provide tissue for therapeutic research. Rationale 4 : At a military hospital overseas, abortions can be provided legally if under United State s laws. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO04 -Identify legal and ethical principles in the practice of maternal –newborn nursing. Question 10 Type: MCSA The n urse is caring for a patient who has delivered her first child. The patient states, “My mother said that I have to have a bowel movement before I can go home, but my girlfriend said that isn’t true anymore. What caused this change?” Which response by the n urse is best? 1. “Doctors just want patients to go home sooner these days.” 2. “It really doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about it.” 3. “Research indicates it is normal for bowel function to slow for a few days.” 4. “We used to give all patients laxatives, but now they cost too much.” Correct Answer: 3 Rationale 1 : Cost containment and managed care are the driving forces behind some changes in care compared to a generation ago, not physician preference. Rationale 2 : Always address a patient’s questions and avoi d saying “don’t worry about it” to keep communication therapeutic. Rationale 3 : Evidence -based practice is the use of research findings to guide nursing actions, policies, and procedures. Often re search findings contradict care that used to be the norm, l eading to changes in policies and procedures. Rationale 4 : Although laxatives are low -cost medications, there is no evidence indicating that all patients should receive them after childbirth. The e vidence indicates that bowel function slows slightly after birth and normally resumes in a few days. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Evaluating Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Proces s: Implementation Learning Outcome: LO05 - Identify the imp act of evidence -based practice in improving the quality of nursing care for childbearing families. Question 11 Type: MCMA Which of the following practices characterize the basic competencies relat ed to evidence -based practice? Standard Text: Select all t hat apply. 1. Clinical practice supported by good evidence 2. Clinical practice supported by intuitive evidence 3. Clinical practice supported by data 4. Clinical practice that promotes quality 5. Clinical practice that provides a useful approach to proble m solving Correct Answer: 1,3,4,5 Rationale 1 : Clinical practice supported by good evidence is one of the hallmark characteristics of the basic competencies related to evidence -based practice. Rationale 2 : Clinical practice supported by intuitive evidence does not provide valid evidence and data for the proper actions. Rationale 3 : Clinical practice supported by data is one of the hallmark characteristics of the basic competencies related to eviden ce-based practice. Rationale 4 : Clinical practice that prom otes quality is one of the hallmark characteristics of the basic competencies related to evidence -based practice. Rationale 5 : Clinical practice that provides a useful approach to problem solving i s one of the hallmark characteristics of the basic competen cies related to evidence -based practice. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Understanding Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Proce ss: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO05 - Identify the impact of evidence -based practice in improving the quality of nursing care for childbearing families. Question 12 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing a report on the number of births by three service prov iders at the facility (certified nurse – midwives, family pra ctitioners, and obstetricians). This would be an example of: 1. Inferential statistics. 2. Descriptive statistics. 3. Evidence -based practice is the use of conclusions of research to improve nursin g care. 4. Secondary use of data. Correct Answer: 2 Rationa le 1: Inferential statistics allow the investigator to draw conclusions from data to either support or refute causation. Rationale 2 : Descriptive statistics concisely describe phenomena such as bir ths by providers. Rationale 3 : Evidence -based practice. Rationale 4 : Secondary use of data is analyzing data a different way than the original data analysis was undertaken or looking at different variables from a data set. Global Rationale: Cognitive Le vel: Analyzing Client Need: Safe Effective Care Environment Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Implementation Learning Outcome: LO06 - Explain how nurses can use descriptive and inferential statistics in clinical practice in ma ternal –child health nursing. Question 13 Type: MCSA An exa mple of descriptive statistics is: 1. A positive correlation between breastfeeding and infant weight gain. 2. The infant mortality rate in the state of Oklahoma. 3. A causal relationship between th e number of sexual partners and sexually transmitted diseas es. 4. The total number of spontaneous abortions in drug -abusing women as compared with non -drug-abusing women. Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : A positive correlation between two or more variables i s an example of inferential statistics. Rationale 2 : The in fant mortality rate in the state of Oklahoma is an example of a descriptive statistic because it describes or summarizes a set of data. Rationale 3 : A causal relationship between the number of sex ual partners and sexually transmitted diseases is an exampl e of inferential statistics. Rationale 4 : The total number of spontaneous abortions in drug -abusing women also would be an inferential statistic. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO06 - Explain how nurses can use descriptive and inferential statistics in clinical practice in maternal –child health nu rsing. Question 14 Type: MCSA The 2011 estimated infant mo rtality rate in the United States exceeds the infant mortality rate of several other developed countries, including Sweden, Japan, France, Germany, and Canada. Which research question most effectiv ely explores variables that may potentially influence these statistics? 1. What is the average age of healthcare providers in each country? 2. What is the level of racial diversity in each country? 3. What is the average age of children in each country? 4. What is the level of awareness related to contraception in each country? Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : The age of healthcare providers does provide insight as to national infant mortality rates. Rationale 2 : Racial background can impact infant mortality rates. Rationale 3 : The average age of children does not pr ovide insight as to the rate of infant mortality. Rationale 4 : Awareness related to contraception has no direct impact on the survival of infants after birth. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Evaluation Learning Outcome: LO07 - Discuss how available statistical data can be used to formulate further research questions. Question 15 Type: MCSA The nurse knows the birth rate by age group in the state. Which research question could be developed for further study from this data? 1. What is the average number of children per family in the United States? 2. How does educational level a ffect the incidence of unplanned pregnancy? 3. What is the overall nutritional status of adolescents? 4. Which high schools provide day care for student parents? Correct Answer: 2 Rationale 1 : Determining the average number of children nationally will not yield additional information about this state. Rationale 2 : Research questions often come from a nurse’s desire to further understand an issue. How educational level affects the incidence of unplanned pregnancy is a question that flows from the known data of birth rate by age group. Rationale 3 : Studying the nutri tional status of adolescents will not yield additional information about this state. Rationale 4 : Schools that provide student parent day care might indicate the incidence of teen pregnancy in the population served by the school but not pregnancy rates of those who are not in high school. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Plannin g Learning Outcome: LO07 - Discuss how available statistica l data can be used to formulate further research questions. Question 16 Type: MCSA The major focus of the clinical nurse specialist (CNS) involves: 1. Conducting physical and psychosocial assessme nts, including history, physical examination, and certain diagnostic tests and procedures. 2. Independently managing the care of women at low risk for complications during pregnancy and birth and the care of healthy newborns. 3. Generating new research rel evant to topics such as health care and administrative issu es. 4. Demonstrating leadership within his or her specialty and working to improve inpatient care both directly and indirectly. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1 : Physical and psychosocial clinical ass essment is the major focus of the nurse practitioner (NP), who provides care in many different clinical settings. Rationale 2 : The certified nurse -midwife (CNM) is qualified to provide independent care of the low -risk pregnant client while seeking physicia n consultation as needed. Rationale 3 : Nurse researchers ha ve an advanced doctoral degree, typically a PhD, and assume a leadership role in generating new research. Rationale 4 : The CNS assumes a leadership role within his or her specialty and works to imp rove inpatient care both directly and indirectly.

Ladewig, Contemporary Maternal -Newborn Nursing , 8/E Chapter 02 Question 1 Type: MCSA While conducting a family assessment, the nurse determines that a particular family's structure is binuclear. Some potential challenges inherently faced by binuclear famil ies include: 1. Challenges related to co -parenting and joint custody, including negotiation and compromise between the parents about childrearing decisions. 2. Issues related to both parents being employed, including child care, household chores, and spend ing time together. 3. Challenges related to children interacting with peers and when revealing their parents’ sexual orientation. 4. Issues related to single parenting, including lack of social and emotional support, need for assistance with childrearing, and financial strain. Correct Answer: 1 Rationale 1 : Because both parents have equal responsibility and legal rights regarding their biologic child, binuclear families may inherently face challenges related to co -parenting and joint custody, including nego tiation and compromise between the parents about childrearing decisions. Rationale 2 : Issues inherently faced by the dual -career/dual -earner family include child care, household chores, and spending time together. Rationale 3 : Children raised in gay and le sbian families may face challenges related to interacting with peers and when revealing their parents’ sexual orientation. Rationale 4 : Binuclear families incorporate co -parenting, whereas with single parenting, one parent is responsible for child care. Is sues inherently related to single parenting may include lack of social and emotional support, need for assistance with childrearing, and financial strain. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Analyzing Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client N eed Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO01 - Describe how family type may influence nursing care of the childbearing family. Question 2 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing a community presentation on family dev elopment. Which of the following statements should the nurse include? 1. The youngest child’s age determines the family’s current stage. 2. A family does not experience overlapping of stages. 3. Family development ends when the youngest child leaves home. 4. The stages describe the family’s progression over time. Correct Answer: 4 Rationale 1 : The oldest child’s age is the marker for which stage the family is in, except for the two last stages, which occur after the children have left home. Rationale 2 : Families with more than one child can experience multiple stages simultaneously. Rationale 3 : Families with more than one child can experience multiple stages simultaneously. Rationale 4 : Family development stages describe the changes and adaptations that a family goes through over time as children are added to the family. Global Rationale: Cognitive Level: Applying Client Need: Health Promotion and Maintenance Client Need Sub: Nursing/Integrated Concepts: Nursing Process: Assessment Learning Outcome: LO02 - Explain the changes that a childbearing family will undergo based on the developmental tasks to be completed. Question 3 Type: MCSA The nurse is preparing to assess the development of a family new to the clinic. The nurse understands that the primary u se of a family assessment tool is to: 1. Obtain a comprehensive medical history of family members. 2. Determine which clinic the patient should be referred to. 3. Predict how a family will likely change with the addition of children. 4. Understand the phys ical, emotional, and spiritual needs of members. Correct Answer: 4
